How to know when to clean 510 atty and how to go about it.

I guess that would be a good idea. I don't clean mine a whole lot. I keep them blown out and do a burn every once in a while. I just watched the video and took the bridge out of an older atty. It took it a little while to get going but WOW! Lots better! Using it with a bottom feeder and it's a nice improvement!

I have to emphisize that the atty ressurection method once every two weeks WILL extend the life of you atties.

Not one of my attys have a bridge They only get in the way.

Would it be advisable to rinse the juice out before re-dryburning?

Yes, see this thread I started http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/211574-youll-shoot-your-eye-out-kid-santa.html

Ok, I'm paranoid.

seems like I am dripping alot of juice into my ego with 510 atty and drip tip but its still tasting kind of off like burning a little bit. when I drag on it it sounds like it is bubbling in there but I'm not getting the good taste i was getting from it just a day ago I've been steady dripping on it for almost a week now. Does it need to be cleaned. should I soak it in alcohal.

I did a forum search and just turned up way too many results to sort through so sorry if this is a redundant and already been posted which I am sure it has. Thanks in advance for the tips

Never clean it unless absolutely necessary--which for me is when it is shorting out the battery.

Atties are basically junk and are easily damaged, no matter which ones you buy. Cleaning will more than likely result in damage to the wicking of the attie. Once that happens the attie is history.

HTH,

If you don't rinse out the juice first, you could bake it into the atomizer when doing the dry burn.

And to answer the original question, I clean my atomizer whenever...
1) I start getting a bad taste from it
2) I notice any dropoff in performance

So I use the Highping Method to dry burn my atomizer about once a week.
